The inaugural Union Y basketball season brought excitement, energy and life into the building on Saturday and Sunday nights. Fifty players across both divisions (first-third grade and fourth-sixth grade) played hard, competitive, team basketball and learned the skills of the game. The first-third grade division participated in a mix of skills clinic and league games, it was amazing to see each player improve throughout the season! The fourth-sixth grade division created an exciting buzz across many communities which packed the gym and stands with friends, family and fans throughout the season. The championship game played between the Warriors and Rangers was intense. When the final buzzer sounded the Rangers prevailed and completed an undefeated championship season. Congratulations to coach Yitz Stern and his team: Solomon Stern, Eli Walzman, Zev Rosen, Aryeh Landa, Avi Muller and Sammy Markovich. I look forward to seeing everyone back again next year for an ever bigger and better season! Thanks to all the coaches, referees and scoreboard operators who helped make the season a phenomenal success.
